Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The normal attitude of the fetus is general flexion. The fetal attitude is the relation of fetal body parts to one another. The horizontal lie is perpendicular to the mother; in the longitudinal (or vertical) lie the long axes of the fetus and the mother are parallel. Vaginal birth cannot occur if the fetus stays in a transverse lie.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In cephalic presentations (head first), the presenting part is the occiput; this occurs in 96 of births. In a breech birth, the sacrum emerges first; this occurs in about 3 of births. In shoulder presentations, the scapula emerges first; this occurs in only 1 of births.
